I did my training with Paul Haxby and I can't recommend him enough! A fantastic and very patient guy with 15 odd years of experience.I too was a complete newbie and Paul sorted me out with all my gear including a brand new motor that he with a friend has developed and it is a peach! He flys at a field just off the junction for Thorne on the M18,give him a bell you really can't find a more helpful guy.if you type Paul into YouTube there's loads of stuff to look at including my first solo,good luck you will never regret it!
